In the last three months, my bathroom has been filled with various new beauty products as I test their functionality, scents, and textures. However, the packaging material, design, and sourcing of ingredients are equally important to me. I’ve enjoyed this feminine experience more than I ever thought I would, nurturing my skin and body. I have taken the time to care for myself and embrace my new role at Sisbond seriously. Everything you read has been genuinely tested and experienced by me.

After 30 years in the marketing field, I believe a product is never just a product. The stories, values, design, packaging materials, and ingredients all create a holistic journey of the product experience. Often, as consumers, we do not consciously think about these aspects, which can be a good sign, especially when it comes to consumer-friendly services or product designs. The fact is that our subconscious is always influenced through all our senses by marketers, designers, and communicators. This influence occurs directly when we see and touch the packaging, smell the product, apply it to our skin, or consume it. I call it building a bridge of trust and creating a long-lasting relationship with the brand, where every detail counts.
At Sisbond, we sell only the products we love.
Karin and I have always seen brands through the eyes and experiences of the customer, embracing subjectivity in the best possible way.
Naturally, we, the women at Sisbond, remain committed in many ways, pursuing values that are important to us: quality, product functionality and effectiveness, packaging aesthetics, material usage, clean cosmetics, toxin-free products not tested on animals, raw material quality, and more. In short, our bar is set high.
I vote for a 100% natural look, fast results, easy-to-use, functional, and pleasant products.
I am a no-makeup makeup woman. At the age of 51, I try to use as few beauty products and cosmetics as possible. A natural look is my thing, and I confess, I appreciate the old European philosophy of aging gracefully, embracing my joy and life wrinkles as they are. I avoid excessive tanning, try to get natural summer glow and absorb as much vitamin D as possible. Tip-toing through life is not for me; I live it to the fullest, trying to stay balanced and joyful throughout the way.
I have certain principles for facial skin products: both care and makeup must be quick, simple and effective. I am a fast-paced, active, and admittedly impatient woman who demands immediate results. My skincare routine includes cleansing, one eye cream, and two face creams. During the peak of building Sisbond, my stress levels were at an all-time high, leading me to try several products from our webstore. The countless sleepless nights had left my skin dry and my wrinkles more pronounced. However, after just a few days of using our products, Karin noticed a significant improvement in the health of my facial skin.
BEAUTY SPA Superozone 600 Ozonized Oil (15ml) Ozonized oil serum
I apply the product under my eye and face creams. My number one favorite, ozonized oil, enhances the skin’s receptiveness and amplifies the benefits of face creams. This Italian extraordinary cosmetic product is one the few ones that Reet Härmat personally buys and recommended to me. Now, I can’t imagine my skin care routine without it!
For creams, I use super boosters from a South Korean manufacturer. These eye and face creams make me look fresh, even when I’m sleepless or tired. South Korean cosmetics come with interesting stories. It’s often assumed that products from South Korea must be cheap, and premium products are not as well known. However, when you consider the obsession with porcelain skin in that country, combined with Oriental natural wisdom and high-tech science, it’s no surprise that such high-quality products come from there. Good doesn’t have to be cheap.
I have been using the Eye and Wrinkle Cream Peppluss creams for three months, and believe me, you won’t regret it! Both creams contain nanotechnological active ingredients that effectively tighten, strengthen tissues, and renew the skin. As I mentioned, the effects of these products are immediate!
PEPPLUS Wrinkle Eye Cream (30ml)
This cream has a gel-like composition, it absorbs quickly and reduces puffiness.
The skin becomes firm and smooth, and wrinkle and dryness lines decrease. The cream’s fragrance is very pleasant and lightly perfumed.
Deodorants deserve a separate mention. I wasn’t convinced about the effectiveness of aluminum-free, natural deodorants until Sisbond began importing our new favorite brands to the Baltics and testing them on ourselves and friends. However, I appreciate the concept of using clean products in the sensitive lymph node area under my arms, especially ones that effectively combat body odor.
100% effective are Nourished Daily products. My personal favorite is
NOURISHED DAILY Aluminium Free Deodorant Stick – Early Spring (50g)
Lightly creamy and moisturizing, it effectively prevents sweat odor even during intense, busy, and stressful days. The fragrance is neutral and fresh.
Another favorite is:
SALT & STONE Aluminium Free Natural Deodorant Stick – Bergamot & Hinoki (75 g)
OMG, their perfume palette, all the products are incredibly good and globally awarded unisex products. Bergamot & Hinoki is my favorite; it has a subtly masculine scent that I absolutely adore. Salt & Stone deodorants boast 48-hour protection, which is quite impressive.
I’m particularly fond of Salt and Stone’s body cream and shower gel, especially for their wonderful scent.
SALT & STONE Body Lotion – Bergamot & Hinoki (206ml)
The body cream is luxuriously rich, deeply moisturizing, and absorbs beautifully.
SALT & STONE Body Wash – Bergamot & Hinoki (450 ml)
After your shower, you’ll notice the lingering scent of Bergamot and Hinoki subtly enveloping your skin.
For me, the essence of a body scrub is to deliver a completely fresh sensory experience. This product truly encapsulates that unique feeling:
MAIWISTIK Female Force Body Scrub (180ml)
This product exfoliates, deeply moisturizes, and boasts an exceptionally delightful scent. It carries a very cool name, and it lives up to it. Besides providing an amazing experience for the body, it fills the entire bathroom with a spa-like aromatherapy effect afterward. The aroma is wonderfully refreshing, leaving your body pleasantly moisturized.
I am a classic Northern “blonde,” with hairdressers often referring to my hair color as “potato peel,” and I have fine Nordic hair. I highlight it to be blonder and regularly trim the ends. I no longer keep my hair long because it tends to stretch out. Instead, I opt for a shorter, layered hairstyle that gives my hair more volume, making it look thicker and healthier.
I have been using Davines shampoos for years, and the results are consistently impressive—my hair remains healthy and moisturized. Davines is one of the most sustainable hair care brands in Europe, with an admirable philosophy that embraces sustainability holistically. Their approach encompasses the organization, the products, the customers, and even influences their partners.
As we know, it’s important to change our hair care products from time to time to prevent our hair from getting tired. One of the main products I’ve used for years contains caper blossom extract. I have used the MINU series for years:
My new favorites are the Dede products, which contain red celery extract. They are suitable for all hair types and are ideal for children as well. The results are so natural that even my childhood curls started thriving again when I let my hair dry naturally
DAVINES DEDE Conditioner (250ml)
I also had an “aha” moment with two products: I have a relatively oily scalp, especially when I haven’t had highlights done for a couple of months. I immediately liked this salt scrub:
DAVINES SOLU SOLU Sea Salt Scrub Cleanser (75ml)
To achieve a thicker, healthy hairstyle with added volume that lasts all day, I highly recommend:
DAVINES VOLU Hair Mist (250ml)
My new favorite is the trendy solid shampoo, perfect for taking on trips:
MAGRADA Volumizing Solid Shampoo with Linden Blossom and Birch Extract (58g)
For makeup, I have a very small arsenal from various pure cosmetics brands. One of my favorites is the mineral cosmetics brand Glo, which I find really suitable. I use concealer for under the eyes, blush, and a soft lip pencil.
Thanks to Sisbond, my bathroom now boasts a range of new products that have made my choices much more conscious and of higher quality, making me feel more feminine than ever. There are so many pleasant scents and luxurious face and body pampering experiences added to my routine. I wish for all of you to nourish your mind every day with kind words, your face and body with clean products that support your well-being, and your senses with delightful aromas! Love, with a capital L, begins with self-love!
Take care of your body and mind!
